## Chapter 622 – 622: Melissa’S Temptation
◈-Melissa’s SIDE
Two weeks had passed since Rent’s matchmaking session with Lelia.
Just because Lelia became his new lover didn’t mean our lives changed drastically.
At night, Lelia would come over to spend the night, and in the morning, she would go back with Rent’s solo clone using his warp hole skill.
On holidays, she would come to Pludan and spar with Noah, Ninya, Lyfa, and Gracia in the morning.
And on holiday nights, she would always sleep with someone.
Last time, it was my turn… I felt it the first time we all slept together, but Lelia, who was shy at first, would become incredibly proactive after a certain point.
“Darling~♡”
Her way of addressing Rent had completely changed, and she would cling to him so much it gave me goosebumps.
She, she usually seems so earnest… The difference was really clear.
And Rent, matching her tone, would call Lelia “Honey” too…
What is this, “Honey”?
If that’s the case, then I’m… Rent’s honey too, right?
No, it’s not like I particularly want to be called “Honey.”
It’s just that I’m a little jealous of that seemingly special nickname.
…Normally, I wouldn’t even know my own feelings like this.
Living with Rent, I’ve fully accepted my feelings that I really love him.
I’m not completely close with Lelia, but I still treat her as a fellow woman of Rent’s… and as a member who will soon be family.
Lelia is usually polite to me, so I don’t dislike her.
Rather, if I had to pick someone who’s hard to get close to, it would be the dragon Rent brought.
Kali was harder to get close to.
Tina says she’s doing her job well.
But other than that, she’s a poison dragon who trembles and is scared of us, Rent’s lovers.
When I first saw her, I wondered, “Is she really a dragon?”
Rent says she sleeps in the same room when they sleep.
When they’re making love, she’s always in the corner, and even when it’s over, she says she’s a loyal familiar who belongs in the corner, so Rent makes a separate bed for her with his mana weapon.
Of course, I heard why Kali is so scared of Rent.
Rent used his projection skill to show how he punished… or played with Kali in her dragon form. Anyway, after seeing that, I thought it was understandable why she would be scared.
But I thought it couldn’t stay like this forever.
Rent doesn’t seem like he’ll let Kali go, and Kali will probably continue to live with us.
So, last time on my day off, I talked to Kali.
“Kali.”
“…Ugh! Y-yes! M-Melissa, N-nim! What business does the loyal familiar of Master, Kali, have with you?”
“Can we talk for a bit? You’re done with cleaning, right?”
“Y-yes…”
“Melissa, what are you going to talk about with Kali?”
“Heeuk!”
Rent, who was cleaning with Kali, asked me.
“I just want to get to know her better, so we’re going to talk. Rent, don’t come. Okay?”
“Okay, I understand.”
I took Kali into the room.
“M-Melissa-nim, w-what b-business do you have with t-this body?”
“I told you, I wanted to get to know you.”
The way she lacks confidence somehow reminds me of Shima.
There’s no point in beating around the bush, so I asked directly.
“Hey, Kali. It’s been quite a while since you came here, right?”
“Y-yes… T-this body has been M-Master’s l-loyal familiar since c-coming here.”
“Yeah, I know. Rent said Kali is doing her job well.”
“I-is that so! Y-yes! T-this body, Kali, is a familiar who is h-helpful to M-Master!”
Kali didn’t look happy, but rather relieved that she could live.
Seriously… Why is she so scared of Rent?
“Yeah, that’s right. But why are you so scared of Rent? I mean… you were hit a lot by Rent, but he doesn’t hit you anymore, right?”
“Ugh… Y-yes, M-Master is k-kind to t-this body… R-really kind…”
“Then that’s good, right? But why are you still so scared? Is it like that? Tikia said she peed her pants when she saw Rent’s magic power, is that what happened to Kali too?”
“M-Master’s presence is i-immense. But he’s h-hiding it now, so it’s o-okay. But… but…”
“But?”
“I-it’s s-scary… T-this body has seen m-many humans. G-good humans and b-bad humans, I’ve seen m-many. B-but, I’ve n-never seen anyone with s-such immense power like M-Master. In t-this body’s opinion, a-after M-Master made Kali a familiar, he w-would usually b-violate or m-make her a s-sex toy, but h-he doesn’t…”
“S-sex toy?”
If she’s seen it directly, that means she’s seen someone else become a sex toy?
“P-people with s-strong power have s-strong s-sexual desires and d-desires. A-and, t-this body is a d-dragon. If you w-win against such a body, the r-rest is just t-thorough subjugation. But M-Master d-doesn’t touch me. N-not at all. I-it’s s-scary…”
“Huh? Why is that scary?”
“M-Master’s s-sexual desire is i-immense. Seeing him use c-clones to do it… His s-sexual desire is m-more immense than any other creature t-this body has seen.”
Well… Rent is pretty intense.
“T-that kind of M-Master still h-hasn’t touched t-this body. He d-doesn’t even r-react to this body, which is p-perfect for t-tempting his reason…”
Hmm? It feels like she’s bragging a little?
“S-surely M-Master is s-stalling…”
“Stalling?”
“M-Master will d-definitely make everyone p-pregnant at the s-same time! T-then, he’ll u-unleash all the s-sexual desire he c-can’t do with the other l-lovers on t-this body! He’ll u-unleash all the s-stalling he’s done! If t-this body a-accepts all of M-Master’s s-sexual desire… t-this body… t-this body… won’t be able to handle it and d-die… Hieung… I don’t want to die…”
Kali was trembling.
Kali, who is definitely taller and more mature than me.
That Kali was hugging her knees and trembling.
…But isn’t her delusion a bit too much?
No, she’s probably like this because she’s seen other people in bad situations.
First, I hugged the trembling Kali and patted her back.
“It’s okay, Kali. It’s okay. Rent wouldn’t do that.”
“B-but… I-I don’t know that. Even human nobles who seemed gentle would call their servants in places where no one could see…”
“…And then they would attack the servants?”
“They would lick the servants’ feet and shout, ‘Please punish me, Master!'”
“Huh?”
“And then the servant, while hating it, would tearfully whip the naked noble’s butt, and the noble would get excited by the sight of the servant who hates him while whipping him!”
“Uh… Sorry. What are you talking about?”
“E-even if M-Master is k-kind to me now… I d-don’t know what he’ll be like l-later…”
So… that’s what she was talking about?
“So, Kali, you think Rent will violate you to the point of death?”
“Hieuk! T-that’s w-what’s s-scary…”
Rent attacking Kali…
No, well, I can imagine them getting carried away by the atmosphere and happily mixing their bodies, but I can’t imagine him forcing her at all.
Rent’s personality is perverted and he has a lot of sexual desire, but… he’s as considerate as possible to the person he’s with.
Well… if he goes wild from the start, he gets a little rough.
But that’s… just to make them feel good in the end.
I thought that Kali was trembling like this because she hadn’t opened up and talked to Rent.
I also… lived without being able to express my feelings.
I only realized my feelings after Rent left the village…
Now, he knows my feelings well enough to immediately notice that I’m a little jealous of Lelia.
It’s the same for Kali.
She’s scared of Rent.
She’s arbitrarily deluding herself and thinking that the Rent in her imagination is the same as the real Rent, so she’s trembling like this.
Then, all I can do is.
Gently push Kali’s back.
“It’s okay, Kali. Rent won’t do that.”
“B-but…”
“I’ve known Rent since I was little, okay? So, I know Rent better than Kali does. It seems like Kali is comparing Rent to other people she’s seen, but… instead of comparing, just look at Rent and think. Rent is definitely not the type of person who would force Kali or violate her to the point of death.”
“Ugh…”
I stroked Kali’s head.
…Her hair is really nice.
“Kali, you should talk to Rent more. If you tell Rent your feelings, he’ll definitely answer you. Of course, not by killing you or anything like that. He’ll answer you as one of our family members.”
“F-family…? T-this body is f-family?”
“Yeah, well… it’s not like you’re a lover or anything, but familiars are like family to a mage, right? So, Kali is also our family.”
“Family…”
“So, Kali, when you have time, talk to Rent alone. Tell him why you’re scared, and what you want Rent to do for you. Nothing bad will happen, I’m sure.”
“My feelings to Master… what I want…”
“Yeah, can you do it?”
Kali closed her mouth for a moment, then nodded and shook her head.
“T-this body will t-try… but n-not y-yet…”
“Yeah, there’s no rush. You can wait until you’re ready. Okay?”
“Yes…”
Kali’s trembling stopped.
“Kali, please take care of me in the future too.”
“Y-yes, Y-yes, M-Melissa-nim. T-thank you for… talking to t-this body.”
“It’s nothing.”
“Um… S-sorry, Melissa-nim.”
“Huh? Why?”
“I-I want to t-think a-alone for a m-moment… E-even though Melissa-nim w-wanted to talk, t-this body…”
It seems like she took my words seriously and wants to think about what she wants to say to Rent.
It was worth saying it.
“Okay. Then I’ll go out first.”
I left Kali in the room and went out.
Hoo, I feel proud that I did something worthwhile.
This is a good thing for Rent.
Since I did a good thing, I deserve a reward from Rent, right?
Under the pretext of getting a reward, I’ll be a little more intense today…
Thinking about it, I’ve really fallen for Rent too…
When I went to the village last time, I thought Shima, who was doing it so much that Dave was getting skinny, was being too open about it.
I’m no better than her.
…Dave isn’t Rent, so he won’t die from exhaustion, right?
Thinking that, I headed to Rent’s room.
Lelia is currently at the Adventurer’s Guild sparring, so.
Rent will be alone in the room reading Magical Girl Marine.
I’m sorry for interrupting his reading, but I need to get a reward today, Rent♡
With that thought, I opened Rent’s door.
“”One more! One more! One more!””
“Again?”
“”Yeah!””
“Then I’ll make one more.”
“”Waaaaah!!!””
And what I saw in front of me was Rent creating multiple warp holes, and Tikia, along with two old men, asking Rent to make more warp holes.
“What… is this?”
